Query Answering in Belief Logic Programming
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a fixpoint semantics for quantitative logic programming, which is able to both combine and correlate evidence from different sources of infor...

An Edge Deletion Semantics for Belief Propagation and its Practical Impact on Approximation Quality
We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...

Aggregating Learned Probabilistic Beliefs
We consider the task of aggregating beliefs of several experts. We assume that these beliefs are represented as probability distributions. We argue that the evaluation of any aggr...

Belief Propagation by Message Passing in Junction Trees: Computing Each Message Faster Using GPU Parallelization
Compiling Bayesian networks (BNs) to junction trees and performing belief propagation over them is among the most prominent approaches to computing posteriors in BNs. However, bel...

Belief Revision and Information Fusion in a Probabilistic Environment
This paper presents new methods for probabilistic belief revision and information fusion. By making use of the principles of optimum entropy (ME-principles), we define a generali...
